The measurement of latitude begins at the Equator,

which is defined as zero latitude.

'Lines' or parallels of latitude completely encircle the globe,

and have no beginning or end points.

Lines of longitude, also known as meridians, are imaginary lines that run from the North Pole to the South Pole on Earth. They help to define the geographic coordinates of a specific location by measuring the distance in degrees east or west of the Prime Meridian, which runs through Greenwich, England. Together with lines of latitude, they form a grid system that helps us navigate and locate places on Earth's surface.
